I reckon a smile could change the world. Really, I think it could. When did you last smile? Was it to yourself, because of someone else, to someone else? When was the last time you saw someone smile? Sometimes we forget huh? They say it takes more muscles to frown than to smile - but […]

Yes, animals need to be looked after, especially young ones, but the calves I’m talking about are your lower legs. We’ve all had calf pain. I remember growing up I used to have painful calves in the evenings - I’d call them growing pains. But then when I still had those pains in my late […]

No-one has really told me as such, but I’m sure I reek of garlic. My friends I think are sick of me recommending garlic as a remedy for any health problem. Got a cold? Have some garlic. Sore throat? Lots of garlic. Cold sore? Garlic! Lacking energy? Eat garlic! I have friends who go to […]

Aerobics. Images of lycra-clad women with big hair, earrings and blue eyeshadow spring immediately to mind. Retro beats pump out from the stereo as the high-riding stretchy girls step incessantly in their funky Reeboks. With bright hair bands to hold their massive ‘do in place, sweat seems to be non-existent and you get the feeling […]

I often see billboards advertising sporting events. Usually they don’t get much more of my time than a bat of the eyelid and brief glance. I don’t really know why - perhaps its because I’m a bit of a cheapskate and don’t like paying too much for something. I’m talking about things like marathons, half […]

I love smoothies. But I wouldn’t buy one. Why? Because I don’t know what they put in them. And I’m afraid if I ask, they’ll put all sorts of things in! So I prefer to make my own. Its cheaper, probably fresher, and I know exactly whats in them.
For a while, that was breakfast for […]

I just spent 40 minutes on a stationary bike. I cycled about 12.2 km in that time - so I wasn’t really pushing myself. Actually, I alternated between talking to a friend and reading a magazine. So it was rather laidback. However, it still burns calories! And I was aching when I got off! I […]
